My current work involves understanding role regulation and intermediaries such as industry associations play in facilitating inclusive innovation in emerging and low income countries. This research concentrates on healthcare sector and covers institutional and firm level issues in the medical device and biotechnology industries in India and South Africa. The broader aim is to understand implication of inclusive innovations in ensuring affordable and accessible healthcare for poor people in developing countries.

My previous work involved significant research on industrial dynamics in industries from developing countries specifically focusing on evolution of capabilities, technology strategies and firm level issues involved in innovation management. It included investigating various issues associated with technology strategy, industrial development and inclusive innovation in developing countries.
